The word Thanksgiving, giving thanks in
Hebrew, is so different than how it
sounds in English that it's going to
surprise you and it's hide a beautiful
secret. For example, in Hebrew, in
Psalms 128, we never say give thanks. In
the original language of the Bible, we
don't say give thanks. We say hodu. Hodu
comes from the word toda. When a lot of
people want to say toda, they say hodu
or modim. The different is so bold. In
English, we give something. In the
original language of the Bible, the
process is on us and it's not [music]
just in you word. It comes from a very
deep idea that the word thank you in
Hebrew, toda, comes also from the word
hod, majesty. The [music] only way to
recognize majesty or glory of something,
of him, is when you humble. The process
is on you. You don't give anything. You
work on yourself. So, maybe the right
way to represent it in English will be
be thankful and not to give thanks. Let
me know what you think about it. God
bless you.
